I thought the Urbino would be the exact same at the stock on the Benelli M2, no?
So I thought.
The back of the grip is a lot squarer than the M1 for a very uncomfortable hold and the bottom corner of the grip digs into my palm.
The drop in comb if so drastic compared to the M1 that it pinches my thumb near the wrist much like the Speedfeed stocks do. The sharp angles at the bottom of the stock compound the same problem as you hold onto the grip. Why was this area not rounded off like every other buttstock on the market.
To avoid pinching the thumb, you almost have to hold the grip from the side with your fingers instead of actually gripping it. I like to be behind the grip with my hold on it, not on the side held with fingertips. I don't have gorilla hands either, but close. So maybe it's me. However, I feel if my hands
were smaller. I still don't think it would be comfortable enough.
On a positive note, how the buttpad is quickly removed is a convenient idea and the way the adjustable cheek rest is held on is a good design.
Through some research, I read that the M1 rubber part of the grip is interchangeable. It's certainly not the same. Nowhere near the same. It would solve part of my issue with the more rounded rubber grip, but I have not confirmed personally that the M1 grip would fit.
Not being confident it will work, I don't want to damage either one by removing them to try. I feel I was mislead to assume the two stock's similarities. I lost interest and may go back to the REM conventional style short length of pull buttstock.
If the grip was angled less toward the rear, (more perpendicular to the bore line), it wouldn't pinch my thumb, but the sharp angles at the rear of the grip are just not what I'm comfortable with. Anyway ...
